Madison Middle and Madison High dismissed at 2:30 p.m. Monday because of a bomb threat, Superintendent Benita Young said in a statement posted on the district's Facebook page.

"We are working to provide a safe learning environment for our students and must take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all. Thank you for working with law enforcement as they secure our schools when issues such as this arise. We are grateful for your patience and understanding," Young said.

Maj. Neal Horath with the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office said two threats were made: one was on Facebook and one was called in to a school.

Horath said his department doesn't think the threats are credible because nothing exploded at the times provided, but they are investigating them as though they are. The department is getting search warrants for phone and online records.
